Here's  a snippet of what Gene and Tina has to say about Grundei Coaching programs:

Meridith is a shining star in a world full of coaches.

She gave me incredible guidance on my speech as well as solid advice on handling nerves, incorporating movement, and even how to network after a talk. I never felt judged or talked down to during our sessions. It was more of an educational collaboration of ideas…truly amazing and unlike any other coaching I’ve used.

—Gene Petrino
Owner, Survival Response LLC

Meridith's coaching techniques have helped me grow tremendously as a speaker, and as a person


I joined Meridith Grundei's Confidently Speaking group to practice my speaking skills... She helped me dig deep to find my story, and is passionate, knowledgeable, compassionate, has a way to pull the best out of her students, and me.

Meet Meridith, your host

Meridith Grundei is the owner of Grundei Coaching, LLC, specializing in public speaking and presentation skills.

As an award-winning theatre director, producer, and former Second City improv teacher, she recognized the similarities between performing for audiences on stage every night and presenting to clients/colleagues every day. However, the latter didn't have the right tools to bring their stories to life.

So, she decided to do something about it. Grundei Coaching, LLC specializes in presentation and public speaking consultation, individual training and development, and creative team solutions using improvisational theatre techniques to build trust, empathy, and out-of-the-box thinking.

Her clients include entrepreneurs looking to expand their brand by appearing on more stages and managers, leaders, and teams in both tech and medical fields. Some of her most recent clients include Panasonic, Amazon AWS, Merck, Idorsia, and the Iowa Department of Health.
